Decision	Trees in Cons Area Works Can Proceed
Appeal decision
Type	Works to Trees in a Conservation Area
Location	The Garth Residential Care Home The Square Kington Herefordshire HR5 3BA
Proposal	Large, mature beech tree leaning towards the accommodation wing of the care home. There are major structural defects to the main stem, including several historic pruning wounds with significant cavities and indications of decay and spiral grain including a crack on the north-east side of the main stem. Given the trees size and location and nature of the adjacent buildings, there is a very high chance of injury or loss of life if it failed. Work proposals are to fell the tree to ground level.
